There is a time in life we get obsessed with a person… Obsessed enough to record his songs, listen to it on and on… then think about how cute he is…
I was just 12 years when I started falling in love with Boyzone… Grade 7 was a crazy time in crazy old days to talk about non stop about your favourite song… “Love me for a Reason” was my favourite song in grade 7 and one of my all time favourites till now… It was when I got obsessed with the cute dark haired guy in Boyzone.. I hated Ronan Keating… I thought it was unfair that he is the lead singer when Steve had the best voice…
The cute guy in Boyzone was my first poster…, my first obsession and my first crush… I always thought backstreet boys were cheap and annoying… it bugged me like nothing when Backstreet Boys made it on top of the charts every week… but tragically almost all my friends liked backstreet boys more… Specially that mushroom idiot nick carter…
I never knew the name of the cute guy is Stephen Gately till I saw the video “Key to my life” I was very insulted and jealous to see him flirting with his teacher… how could he? and in school for a long time, that became a topic… I think rasi and I were the only two loyal fans who argued got pissed off and defended him at that time...
There were times, millions of times we fought over nick carter and Stephen gately… me and nips didn’t speak to each other for sometime because I told her that Nick looked like a girl… and she told me Stephen had a girly voice… But everytime I found a poster or song lyrics of Backstreet Boys I gave them and they found me Posters and lyrics of Boyzone…
I still remember how we all saved pocket money to buy “Smash Hits” mag… How we had a competition of whose song book is the best… and whose poster book was the best… It wasn’t easy to collect song lyrics that time... we had to wait and wait for the Sunday Paper to get lyrics and on Monday it was a fight going on in class about the song…
I was very hurt and heartbroken the day I heard he is GAY.. Obviously nick fans were thrilled to hear the news… but still we never believed it… I still don’t.. he he
That I can see
A change in me
But I won't go back cause that's behind me
And after all
Strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be, never be
Never be...
Isn't it a wonder
As a new born baby cries
Isn't it a wonder
With the sweetness in my eyes
And isn't it a wonder
On the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder
Isn't it a wonder to me….
This note is for all the memories he brought to my mind when I heard the shocking news… and to all my crazy friends who shared the crazy memories waaay down the memory lane… love you all…
